Ilustrations: Paula S. Barragan M.
Genre: Poetry
Age Range: 4th - 5th, Many of the poems have Spanish vocabulary integrated and can confuse younger children if not introduced to it beforehand.
Plot: The book is a collection of Spanish poems dedicated to mothers or mother-like figures. Some of them describe what they are like, what they do, and even how they dress. Some also describe the relationship between the author and them. There is also a good amount of Spanish vocabulary used in the poetry.
Characters: Daughters, nieces, mothers, aunts, grandmothers.
Theme: How important mothers and similar figures are.

Equity Issues: I found no negative stereotypes or gender bias in the book.
